My opinion, but I think it was an attempt to codify a specific instance where Article 4, Section 1 would come into play:
Every state has a legislative definition of a sworn peace officer. For example, in Texas this is article 2.12 of the Texas Code of Criminal Procedure. I think this legislation was trying to level the playing field by specifically stating that if your state defines you as a cop, then you’re considered a cop in every state via IV.1.
IANAL, etc. Just seems like common sense to me.
You were going to NYC to shop and eat at some nice restaurants, right? I hope you had fun. Anything to recommend? I have been wondering since the beginning of this thread, and now you’ve been here, and everything went well with the Glock and all, so thought I’d ask.
I’ve been to NYC a couple of times, but it has been quite a while since the last time.
We went to a Broadway show , went into little Italy and Chinatown went to some wine bars in Manhattan, had some New York Pizza and shopped.
I had Brooklyn Lager beer for the first time at AYZA Wine & Chocolate Bar. I was surprised how good it was.
And no, I was not carrying my pistol while drunk.
We were not all that impressed with our hotel. But it was in a great location. And the entire trip (Round trip non-stop airfare and 4 nights hotel) only cost me a grand total of $480 ($240 each) including all taxes and fees. So I’m not going to whine too much about the hotel being old, outdated, and run down.
I did have a bit of a fright, though. My wifes knee was starting to hurt from all the walking we did. I stepped off a subway before her and she, in her slowed state, didn’t make the door. I couldn’t get a signal to call her cell phone. All I could think was “she’s gonna kill me. She’s gonna kill me. Why didn’t I let her go in front of me! Oh God! I’m dead! I am so dead!”
A while later she arrived back at that location on the opposite direction train. But instead of being mad she was laughing hysterically. “You should have seen the look on your face as the train closed and left! Your skin turned pale as a ghost! It was a look of sheer horror!It was priceless! Bwaahahaha!”
Oh, and I did not see any “no guns” signs anywhere we went in NYC, with the exception of the airport.
The CCW law in Wisconsin goes into effect today, so I’m thinking there will be some signs up around here, though they won’t apply to me.
Here is a pretty good sign I saw on a business yesterday.
I was going to advise not to go into any hi rise buildings that had the top two floors under construction, and don’t go to any Xmas parties, even if your wife, Holly, is part of the festivities, but, now, with you back safe…

It would be a bit like having a “no live trout” sign. It goes without saying that most people don’t have one on them, in NYC.
ETA: you should have mentioned the Hotel Pennsylvania. I think everyone would have warned you away. It’s really old and crappy. Good location, though.
I was going to start a thread on pros and cons of different type of concealed carry holsters (IWB, FBI-style etc), but looking at the anger displayed here I think I’ll skip it.
pkbites: Glad you had a good time and greetings from Texas where we like our guns.
Feel free to start such a thread (although I’d put it in IMHO rather than GQ).
Some animals are more equal than others.

That’s enough. Pkbites is back from New York, the GQ is answered, and we don’t need any more inappropriate sniping in here. Thread closed, and 1010011010, save the gun potshots for a different forum.
